Gas City

Bill Blumer · 7/7/09, 7:45 AM

I'm going to visit a Friday night show at Gas City soon.

What do I need to know?

Is the infield open to fans?

If not where should I sit?

What time do hot laps start (the website really didn't say).

Do any photographers from there have a website? I can't find many pics on Gas City's website.

Given that Gas City is a 1/4 mile, the infield is only open to safety crews and photographers.

You can see the whole track from pretty much anywhere. Sitting down toward turn 1 will be dirtier especially early in hot laps. Not dusty, but those little bits of clay will be flying.

Personally, I really like Gas City and I think you're in for a treat!

Dave has some of the best that I have seen. I have some from the KISS show back in May on my site, and there will be more from the ISW show in less than a week. . . . .
